This is a simple applet for monitoring and controlling the state of the EeePC's peripherals:
-Card Reader
-Webcam
-Wireless
-Bluetooth

This is mainly useful to save battery power, eg by turning off the radios when they're not used.
Complete with nice little tooltips.

Simply click on an icon to toggle its state.

It uses the interface of the eeepc_laptop module.
I wrote this because I did not know of a nice way to do this in kde without resorting to running the echo commands manually, or compiling a gtk-base tray applet.

Based off the nice little Suspend Plasmoid:

Known bug: Has funny spacing in panel. Does anyone know how to fix the large seemingly fixed spacing in the panels?

Todo: Would be sweet to use policykit instead of kdesu, will have to look into it.

Note: If you are using a (k)ubuntu system, you may not have the kdesu command. If this is so, you can either:
- Edit contents/main.py and replace the 'kdesu' in line 47 with 'kdesudo'.
- Or symlink kdesu to kdesudo.

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
